Transformation Thursday: Holiday HIIT Workout with Kami

November 19, 2015 -

Transformation Thursday is quickly becoming one of my favorite segments when I get to have guests like today's Dallas-based personal trainer. Kami Blease is a certified trainer through the Cooper Institute and is the creator and owner of The Kalon Life - a platform to encourage and support women through fitness, nutrition, fashion, you name it! Kami meets you exactly where you are in life and helps you to become a better version of you!

Today she is guest posting for us to share an easy workout that can be done in your home, on the road, or outdoors with friends. Sticking with your exercise program through the holiday season can be tough, so workouts that are quick, can be done anywhere at anytime, and are effective are key!

Enough from me though, let's hear from Kami...

Hi, my name is Kami and I am founder of The Kalon Life! I am so excited Anna asked me to guest post today because I love everything about her and her wonderful blog. <3

I started The Kalon Life because I deeply believe in encouraging women to look and feel their best. A great way to do that is through fitness! It can be a stress reliever, a mood booster and a fat burner all at once!

Through in-home personal training sessions I work one-on-one with my clients and develop a program uniquely designed for them and their needs. Its hard enough to get to the gym with all we have going on these days so I take all of that out of the equation and show up at your door! All you need to do is be dressed and ready to get in a good sweat! For those that still love a gym atmosphere I train there as well. Working for myself gives me the flexibility I need to be available to my clients when and where they want!

As the holidays are quickly approaching (yay!) getting in a great workout can be hard! So I have put together a workout for you to do in your home that takes about 30 minutes but is sure to make you sweat!
